Brazilian metal legends Sepultura are preparing to close their final chapter at the end of this year.
With over 40 years of history, 14 gold records, and performances in more than 80 countries, Sepultura stand as Brazil’s uncompromising emissary to the global stage and one of today’s most influential metal bands.
Their final creative moment is captured on The Cloud Of Unknowing EP, set for release on April 24 via Nuclear Blast Records.
The Cloud Of Unknowing EP is one of Sepultura’s most diverse and emotionally resonant releases. Across four tracks, the EP serves as a bittersweet farewell, showcasing the full spectrum of the band’s creativity and reflecting both the ferocity and depth that have defined Sepultura’s legacy.
Vocalist Derrick Green sheds light on the EP track “The Place,” explaining: “This song deals with immigrants who have come to a place seeking refuge and a new life. Once assimilated into a false sense of security and relentless propaganda, they begin to act out against what they hate about themselves. The transition begins with escaping self-hatred and lashing out at people who believed in the same ideas. I feel the lyrics truly follow the transitions of the song, starting with disappointment and arriving at anger.”

The Cloud Of Unknowing EP will be available in the following formats: Oxblood Transparent Petrol (NB exclusive), Crystal Clear (band exclusive), and Transparent Red (band exclusive). All LP variants come with a CD of the EP in a card wallet.
